interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

Corporations and billionaires don’t want you to know what political messages they are funding. That’s why they make the info so difficult to find. PaidForBy.info changes the game. It’s 100% free to use. Please check it out and spread the word!

There you have it, folks. If moderates don't support leftist candidates, moderates are evil. If moderates do support a leftist candidate, the leftist candidate must be evil. There is no winning. You will never make these people happy.

Just to be clear, this isn't much different from what he wrote in Dobbs. To which Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan aptly responded: "This is to ignore as judges what we know as men and women. The interests women have in Roe and Casey are perfectly, viscerally concrete." [2]

Former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert died this morning. For 16 years, while he was a coach and government teacher at Yorkville High School in Yorkville, Illinois, Hastert sexually abused at least four boys (and likely more). (thread)

A reminder that Sam Harris is a fascist and white supremacist, and genocide denier. Facts don’t matter to him and he won’t debate actual academics and scholars because they’ll intellectually destroy him. He knows this so he hides like a feckless coward. Stop listening to him on anything.

I heard through the grapevine that Sen. Eric Schmitt has 18 staffers on his legislative team: 17 men and one woman. The woman on his staff deals exclusively with foreign policy, which means today's disaster during the hearing was all by conservative men who don't know sports.
